Illinois State seeks a highly motivated, academically well-prepared, and diverse student body. We value individualized attention for each and every student and guarantee that your application will be reviewed carefully by admissions representatives.
Highest admission priority will be granted to transfer students with the strongest academic records. Of those transfer students admitted for the 2007-2008 academic year, the average grade point average was a 3.1 on a 4.0 scale.
In making admission decisions, Illinois State takes the following into consideration:
Admission into some majors require specific course prerequisites. The Transfer Admission Guide provides important information for students planning to transfer to Illinois State during those terms.
You can also refer to the Open/Closed Major list to find out which major programs are available for the term which you applied.
Please note: Remedial (non-credit) course work is not taken into consideration when calculating admission GPA or the number of semester hours earned at the time of application. In addition, an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree does not guarantee admission and it may not be possible to offer admission to all qualified applicants because of a highly competitive applicant pool and space limitations.
